Composition containing fibers, spherical particles and platelets, and its uses

Abstract

The invention relates to a composition containing an oily phase dispersed in an aqueous phase, fibers, spherical particles and platelets. The composition has very good stability and applies very uniformly to the skin, with no phenomenon of pilling or of aggregation. It may especially constitute and oil-in-water emulsion that may be used as a cosmetic composition. The invention also relates to the use of the said composition especially to care for, treat, make up or cleanse the skin, the lips, the eyelashes and/or the hair.
